FRANK P. SCHIAVONE, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

HOLDER FOB INK-BOTTLES.

Application filed March 31, 1914, Serial No. 828,602. Renewed October 13, 1915.

To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, FRANK P. SoHIAvoNE, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of the Bronx and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Holders for Ink- Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in holders for ink bottles and is designed to provide a holder, 1which will not easily upset, 2which will allow the easy passage of rulers or straight edges beneath it, 3- which will afford a top surface for advertising purposes and a protection for drawings, etc., from ink drops which may fall when pen is dipped or filled.

The holder consists specifically of two pieces of cardboard, celluloid or other sheet or molded material held together at opposite edges' and gripping or holding between themselves the body of an ink bottle the neck of which protrudes through a hole in the center of the top of the holder.

As shown in the drawing the holder consists of an upper sheet (A) and alower sheet (B) with a bottle (0) held between them. The top piece and bottom piece are exactly alike except that the top has a hole cut in its center to fit snugly the neck of the bottle it is designed to hold. The two pieces are made of such a size and such a weight of material and are so fastened together by eyelets, rivets or other means that when held apart by the body of the bottle in place, they will be bent or curved as shown. They are thus stiffened, exert a constant pressure upon the bottle and have their edges raised from the surface upon which the holder rests so that it may sit upright upon any uneven surface and permit colliding rulers, straight edges, etc., to slide underneath without upsetting it.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 11, 1916.

Serial No. 55,744.

The drawing shows a holder composed of two pieces of sheet material but it may be made of one piece bent back upon'itself or of two pieces (as of papier-mach) molded into shape; it shows the two pieces to be rectangular in outline but they may have any outline; it shows them fastened together at two edges only but they may be fastened together at all edges or if circular or irregular in outline at any or all points about their periphery.

I claim:

1. A holder for ink bottles consisting of two pieces of sheet material one of which is provided with a hole, said sheets fastened together at two or more points about their periphery and adapted to grip between them the body of a bottle the neck of which protrudes through the hole in the upper piece.

2. A holder for ink bottles consisting of two pieces of sheet material one of which is provided with a hole, said sheets fastened to-. gether at two or more points about their periphery so that each presents a convex exterior surface and the edges so fastened are raised away from the surface upon which the holder rests.

3. A bottle holder comprising two connected flexible sheet-form opposing members between which the bottle is adapted to be gripped, one of said members being a base on which the bottle bottom rests and its underside extending upward and outward from the bottle-engaging portion, whereby a clear space is left beneath the base, around the bottle, and the other members having an opening for the outward passage of the bottle neck.
